Default Mounted in Shell!
Just got this really cute guy which was mounted in a snail shell. I'm thinking the shell mount might look good with a mini phal in it too, or really any mini. suggestions?

How adorable!!! My only concern would be drainage...are shells all that porous?

m_ms09 - Shells aren't porous... but I believe that a bit of VERY careful hand-drilling with an awl should give you a hole. If you have more of a conch style shell, you could smash off a bit of the closed end and let it drain that way, too (hang it up by the long end). Actually, I think I have a hand-sized conch that already has one end smashed off... wonder if it would make a good mount? Always knew that someday I would find a use for my shell collection!
